A criminal conspiracy: CBI

In the early 1990s, the CBI alleged that some public servants and business people in India and abroad entered a criminal conspiracy between 1982-87 for which offenses of corruption, bribery, forgery, and cheating were committed, including a Rs. 64cr pay-off for the supply of arms.

Events-2Quattrocchi discharged from case by CBI court

In 2011, a special CBI court allowed CBI to withdraw the case against the main accused, Quattrocchi.

Quattrocchi reportedly fled India in 1993; he never appeared before any Indian court for prosecution.

Following the CBI's plea in 2011, a Delhi court closed the Bofors case ruling that Indian taxpayers' hard-earned money can't be spent on cases that wouldn't "do any good to them."

DevelopmentsSix MPs examining the oldest pending case

In Jun'17, a panel of six BJP MPs said CBI should challenge the Delhi HC's 2005 verdict that canceled Bofors case.

The panel last month demanded the reopening of the case after the Swedish Police's former chief, Sten Lindstrom, made revelations of Rajiv Gandhi's involvement in the case.

The panel said the case is a "clear example of systemic failure and reflection of criminality."
